Satrapi is unable to call any place but Iran home. A home to most people, including Satrapi, is a place where one is born and raised. With that said, both Austria and France simply cannot compare to Iran. This is because no matter how long Satrapi lives in either country, or how much she studies and learns about the cultures, she will never have the same memories or experiences that a native has.

Journal Three Firoozeh Dumas says that Americans know very little about Iran and Iranians, and I agree. Before reading her book, I would have been confused and lost if anyone asked more for any information about Iran.

Prior to this revolution, the United States and Iran enjoyed good and flourishing relations. As any revolution the Iranian revolution took aim in overthrowing a corrupt regime. Although Islam is very important in the Iranian government today, Islam had little or nothing to do with with the plight or the grief of the…

together, they show the bigger picture. In Marjane Satrapi’s novel, she uses graphic images of the themes imperialism, social classes, and revolution to explain what happened in Iran during her childhood. Marjane Satrapi's use of graphic images within her entire book portrayed how imperialism has affected her life in Iran.
